Yangzhou Prefecture has now become Liu Xian's world, and as Liu Xian's cooperative ally, Wang Tao naturally has unimpeded access in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Today is the anniversary of Yunyue Pear Garden. In order to please the eunuchs, Wang Tao specially booked a room and brought his "cheap godfather" to watch the opera.

"Godfather, the Qingyidan and Hualian roles are singing so well." Wang Tao said with a smile while sitting on the chair.

But the eunuch Guangzhao looked depressed and kept sighing while looking at the stage.

Wang Tao knew that because of the rebellion of the thirty-six thieves, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty had become the isolated ship of the imperial court. Eunuchs like Guangzhao who were assigned to various places were in a very embarrassing situation. In addition, there was no news that Chang'an was going to send troops to redress the injustice, which made these eunuchs very depressed and worried that their good days were coming to an end.

"Foster father, it's okay. For now, I'm pretending to form an alliance with Liu Xiannas. You're my foster father, so he won't be able to embarrass you." Wang Tao whispered, "Wait until the imperial court eliminates these rebels one by one. Then you'll be the honorable Grand Eunuch Guangzhao once again."

Guang Zhao was very moved and looked at Wang Tao and said, "Good boy, you are really a good boy. At first I thought you were a fox trying to please me with ulterior motives. Now it seems that I wronged you."

As the saying goes, even an old hunter will die at the claws of his prey one day, and even bad men and women will be deceived and heartbroken. No matter how upright a good person is, he dare not say that he has never done anything to feel guilty about in his life.

After Wang Tao's long-term service, care and flattery, Guangzhao, a eunuch from the imperial palace, finally got rid of his alienation and guard against him.

This is a huge improvement.

Wang Tao was ecstatic, but he remained extremely calm, not letting it show on his face. He said calmly, "Once you're my adoptive father, I know you're my adoptive father for life. The first time I saw you, I felt a strong connection between us. I felt a surge of affection for you, and I wanted to serve you well. I'll give you everything good in this world that I can get, just to make you happy."

He said this very sincerely, with tears glistening in his eyes, and it seemed like he was really feeling it.

Guangzhao's heart softened. "Flawed people" like them were inevitably eccentric, suspicious and jealous. Although they usually accepted a lot of eunuchs' disciples, there were not many of them whom they could really talk to, let alone treat them as their own children.

However, Wang Tao's performance in recent days made Guangzhao feel a sense of recognition. At this moment, he truly put Wang Tao, his adopted son, in his heart.

"My dear child, your godfather doesn't have anything good to give you. I'm very ashamed." Guangzhao felt around in his arms and sighed helplessly.

Wang Tao saw it and was delighted. His relationship with Guangzhao had taken a big step forward, and it would be just a matter of time before he could find out about the 'Nine Yin Extremes Taoist Scripture' from the other party.

"Godfather, there's no need to be like this. I'm not being nice to you in order to get anything in return. If you look at me like this, it will really hurt my filial piety." Wang Tao said righteously.

"Yes, yes, you are right." Guangzhao smiled with satisfaction and withdrew his hand. "Good boy, then, let me ask you, what is your current strength?"

Wang Tao said modestly, "I am a dull boy, and the inner strength I have cultivated is only second- or third-rate. I have barely reached the sixth level of the inner strength realm."

"Second-rate or third-rate..." Guangzhao stroked his chin in thought. He must have made a big decision. After a change of expression, he slowly blurted out, "Good boy, if you trust your adoptive father, why not abandon your past and practice the internal skills taught by your adoptive father?"

!!!

In an instant, Wang Tao's heart was like a thunderclap, shaking the earth.

An internal martial arts technique? Could it be the Nine Yin Extremes Dao Sutra?

Bang bang bang!

Thinking of this, Wang Tao's heart suddenly started beating violently.

His face flushed slightly as he asked, "Godfather, where does this inner strength method of yours come from? Does it require any sacrifices or a price to pay before practicing it?"

Guang Zhao was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, shaking his head and smiling, "Don't worry, you're my adopted son. There are plenty of normal internal martial arts techniques in this world. How could I bear to let you practice those unorthodox methods that would cut off your fertility?"

Wang Tao nodded repeatedly: "This is the only thing I dare not give up. Apart from this, I want everything that my adoptive father is willing to give me."

"Okay, then I'll tell you some cultivation mantra first, and you listen carefully." Guangzhao picked up a pair of chopsticks and started tapping on the teacup. The tapping sound seemed inexplicably rhythmic.

"Go through the 24th, 6th, and 82nd Yin meridian acupoints, then open up the 13th, 5th, 7th, and 91st acupoints. Don't practice in the morning, start at night, and be on time at midnight. You can't practice Purple Qi Coming from the East..."

Guangzhao recited eighteen mnemonics, and Wang Tao listened very carefully, reciting them silently in his mind and memorizing them.

From the fact that Guangzhao said that the cultivation formula only uses the Yin meridians and not the Yang meridians, and that it is only practiced at night and not during the day, we can judge that this should be the Jiuyin Extreme Taoist Scripture.

But to be on the safe side, Wang Tao pretended to know nothing and asked, "Foster father, what is the name of this internal energy method?"

"The Mysterious Heavenly Extreme Night Sutra," Guangzhao replied with a smile. "Today I'll teach you the first part of the formula. When you've mastered it, come back to me. I'll teach you the second part then."

"Old fox." Wang Tao said in his heart.

It was not known whether the other party was still doubting him or for some other reason, but he did not choose to tell Wang Tao all the mantras of this internal skill at once. This made Wang Tao feel a little doubtful and suspicious.
